Solubility Curves and Practice Problems

Here, we look at solubility curves. We see what they mean, how to read them, and how to answer questions using them. We begin with an overview of solutes, solvents, solutions, and solubility, and then look at general trends for solubility and temperature. Then, we look at the process for reading a solubility curve to determine solubilities and different temperatures, and vice versa. Then, we look at unsaturated, saturated, and supersaturated solutions, and how to determine these different types of solutions using the graph of solubility curves. Finally, we do some calculations involving conversion factors where we have to determine the amount of solute that can dissolve in more or less than 100 grams of water.
